What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.
I’m not sure about you but I’d prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it’s not everything.
Let me know your thoughts!
I’m actually George Clooney. (This is my alt.) And if you think you get a lot of texts from politicians begging for money, try being me. I had to turn on my burner phone for my wife my because her bestie said men with two phones cheat. I was like, “I’m not fucking the entire Democratic Party, Amal. If I gave them my real number, my iPhone would buzz every 2 seconds like this Boost Mobile one. We’d have to use walkie-talkies to plan dinner.”
Quiet and peaceful is underrated.
I’ve worked for and with some famous people. It doesn’t look like fun, I wouldn’t want it for myself. You’re surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you’re just having a bad day and don’t feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.
Wouldn’t want to be one, I’ll happily take their money though.
Quiet and peaceful please :)
Can I get the quiet and peaceful but be able to actually afford a house somewhere with reasonable transit and walkability without having to work more than 40 hours per week?
Let’s say a decent amount of 30 hours per week (as it is already on the upper scale…)
I’m in then! Sign me up for that quiet life.
Average, but quiet and peaceful life and it’s not even close. Being famous sounds like a massive chore.
I’m perfectly content with my current average life. Fame would only bring more worries and stress, even if it’d also bring more luxury
Quiet and peaceful would be enough for most (but one person peace is another one war unfortunately).
I imagine a World on Earth were each of us can contribute with his own talent/passion in which we can exchange freely: information, crafts, skills, goods, etc directly without intermediaries or money (that only a few can print)
In the same time realizing the world we currently live in I’m following this quote: “If you want peace, prepare for war!”
“Amat victoria curam” for those few…
Be well, God bless!
Famous enough that there’s a steady fan base listening to my music (a thousand people internationally sounds great to me) but nothing more than that. I want that genuine fandom, where people actually enjoy being in a niche and no one stalks you and generally people don’t know you wherever you go.
Not even for the money, but just to feel appreciated and to know I have a positive impact on people, that’s all I want.
If it’s only the two extremes? Yeah I’m totally cool with a quiet life.
I want the latter. Being famous and rich will give me the power to spend my wealth on causes that I deem worthy. It will also give me the power to infulence people to some extent in order to achieve my goals.
